The Gift Of The Magi |
| I remember monday rising up to pack his lunch |
| We kissed goodbye saying |
| What a foolish girl was i Saying, what a fool was she |
| Near the store where I go shopping |
| On display there was a golden watch chain |
| All that week it had me stopping |
| What a fool was she. |
| Almost christmas, we were so poor |
| Where there was will |
| There were ways |
| I was sure |
| In the paper written plain |
| I saw an ad, I caught a train |
| And sold my hair to buy the chain |
| What a fool was she |
| (and he says:) |
| I remember monday rising with her hair |
| Reflected in my eyes |
| It caught the sun a million times |
| What a fool was he In a window near the office was a comb |
| Of pearls and beads and tortoise |
| Oh, the devild come to court us What a fool was he Almost christmas, we were so poor |
| Where there was will |
| There were ways |
| I was sure |
| In the pawnshop coming home |
| I stopped inquiring for a loan |
| And sold the watch to buy the comb |
| What a fool was he Christmas came up cold and glum |
| There were no visions of sugar plums |
| There were no joyous carols sung |
| Oh, what fools were they |
| He sat glaring at her bob |
| As she lay weeping by a chain and fob |
| And sadly burned the yule log |
| And wise men lost their way |
| Wisemen lose their way |
| Merry christmas day |
